However, since the third preserved digit is the longest, it likely represents the fourth digit, with the first digit absent due to imperfect preservation. The terminal 455:

The posterior portion likely held the salt gland. The expansion of the posterior portion may not be an accommodation for the salt gland,

The skull table seems to extend posteriorly past the level of the jaw articulation in 463:, given the completeness of the holotype specimen. The relatively short tail, preserved only as a faint impression in MNG 7722, is 8.5 centimetres (3.3 in) long. The limbs are short, with four digits on the 432:
The skull of MNG 7722 is severely crushed dorsoventrally, making it hard to determine the shape of the skull in lateral view. It is 6.9 centimetres (2.7 in) in length, which is small for a trematopid. The
